BRIAN PATRICK FLYNN: I say it rules. It’s a great alternative to painted patterns, plus I have done it myself, so that means I have to like it or risk being labeled a hypocrite.

LIZ: I love the look of natural wood paired with graphic paint designs. With its painted-on flava, this regular old dresser looks almost like a Saarinen table:

I also like the more traditional dip-dyed look, either horizontal or vertical. I even have a half-and-half table I painted with Chalk Paint sitting by my bedside. And I kind of want to make my boring dining chairs a little more fun by doing something like this:

But don’t get crazy. Painting half a chair high-gloss and leaving half of it with distressed, vintage paint? No. Its multiple personalities stress me out.

JESSICA: Let’s sit down for a second and talk, everyone. In another chair though, because this makes my type-A brain completely shut down. The only way something like this could make it into my house would be if it was a table with a personal chef who would serve me a country-style meal on one end of the table and Asian-fusion on the other end.

I've always had a more classic style, I guess. I like furniture to be one color! In fact, I am painting a Queen Anne coffee table reproduction today, taking it from a shabby chic/distressed cream to matte light yellow.
